Now who earns a salary like this?
 
Quote:

The highest paid university chief in the UK received a £623,000 salary and benefits package, the University and College Union (UCU) has revealed.

The outgoing vice chancellor of Nottingham Trent University, Prof Neil Gorman, earned £170,000 more than his next highest paid counterpart.

Nottingham Trent said the figure included benefits accrued over a five-year period.
Warranted or simply public sector fat cats doing their bit to catch up with their private sector counterparts?

Fat cats. They're all through the public sector especially local councils. The real truth is that they'd never get those salaries and packages from the private sector because they're not good enough but, hey ho, it's only your taxes funding it. But the salaries are only the start, then there's the fancy office with all the latest hi-tech kit, posh furniture like mahogony desks with leather inlays when the average joe has to make do with Ikea chipboard. Expensive chairs, rare artworks on the walls, etc etc.

No wonder uni fees and council taxes are so high.

Maybe students may consider demonstrating against this? 623,000 would pay for a lot of tuition fees?

And they reckon cutting tuition fees would be a disaster..
